often leads citizens to boast that no

ton gone. If by chance we ever
do learn anything about any new
topic we are afflicted By a strange
sense Of insecurity, and we fear to
advance a resolute opinion. But
with things learned in the plastic
days of instructive curiosity
We never lose our sense OF being at
home.
The writer here makes a point
that the first duty of teachers is to
detect the moment OF the instructive
readiness for thes subject and impress
upon pupils that whatever physics
and political economy and philoso-
ply they are at the present .acquir-
ing are the physics and political
economy and philosophy that will
have TO serve them to the end.
Finally, he draws the natural con-
clusion from this transiency OF IN
stincts that most of them are i'm
planted for the sake of giving rise to
habits, and that, this purpose once
accomplished, the instincts them
selves, as such, have no raison d'etre
in the physical economy. and conse-
quently fade away. That occasionally
an instinct should fade before cir
cumstances permit of habit being
formed, or that, if the habit be
formed; other factors than the pure
instinct should modify its course,
need not surprise us. Life is full OF
the imperfect adjustment to indi-
vidual cases, Of arrangements which,
taking the species as a whole, are
quite orderly and regular. Instinct
cannot be expected to escape this
general rule.

The MeaneAt Man,

Indianapolis Journal: The ladies
of Roberts Park Church recently
gave a dairymaids' carnival at Tom
linson Hall, the proceeds of which
we're to 60 to the church. On the
first evening of the entertainment
the person referred to appeared at
the door and attempted to enter
without a ticket. The doorkeeper
stopped him and reminded him that,
as the affair was for the benefit
of the church, he must purchase a
ticket at the box office below.
Down stairs the individual went, and
asked the price of a ticket, and was
told that they were % cents each.
The young man felt in all his pock-
cts and finally, finding no money, ex-
claimed to the ticket seller that he
had left his purse at home on the
dresser, and volunteered to give his
l, o. U. for a ticket, the money to
be paid in the morning. This the
ticket seller agreed to, and the |. O..
U. was duly drawn up and the pur-
chaser, with his ticket, went up
stairs and into the hall. Three quar-
tiers of an hour later he left the
hall, taking a check from the man at
the door good for his readmission.
Going down to the box office and
handing the check to the man from
whom he originally bought his ticket
he said: 81 have been SO worried
over the thought that l have lett my
purse where thieves might get it
that have been unable to enjoy my
self at all, so if you will return to
me my |. o. u, l believe l will not
stay. Here is the check l got at the
door" The |. 0. U. was given him,
and the thrifty citizen went on his
Wav rejoicing.
